the Irish question, and taking, day by day.
all the heart and all the principle out of
the Unionist cause. He declares that
vast majority of the Liberal-Unionlsts are
ready to accord the government whatever
strong measures may be necessary, but
that 1t is insufferabe from any point Of
view that an Irish Nationalist or loyalist
government should be permitted to exist,

After denouncing half measures, petit
logging measures, prostitution OF oonstt-

be entreated TO call conference OF the
whole party and try to maintain unity.

obtrusive and provoking is because 1t In
